THE EXTREME ALCHEMIST OF THE MIGHTY CAULDRON

Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear

Outside the Wuji Battle Temple, Elder Huang looked helplessly into the temple, although he was outside; he could still feel the terrifying aura emanating from within.

“Sigh, there’s just no peace,” Elder Huang said, but he didn’t try to stop it, seemingly allowing it tacitly.

Inside the Wuji Battle Temple, Long Zhiming stood firm and unwavering, like an unshakable mountain.

After throwing a single punch, he withdrew his hand, not attacking Fang Lin again, but the power of that punch was fully unleashed, without holding back in the slightest.

Long Zhiming believed that with the power of his punch, even among those of the same realm, there were few who could withstand it unharmed; Fang Lin of the Heavenly Origin realm may have been strong, but the gap was ultimately too great for him to block it.

“The Dragon-Elephant Shaking Heaven Fist is indeed powerful,” Fang Lin’s voice suddenly rang out, carrying a trace of composure.

Long Zhiming’s gaze sharpened slightly as he looked over.

He saw Fang Lin still standing in the same spot, his Kylin battle armor reduced to a very thin layer, his complexion slightly pale, but he still wore a faint smile.

This scene made everyone present gasp in shock, especially those from the Long Family, who exclaimed again and again.

“He actually blocked it!”

“How is that possible? He shouldn’t have been able to block it!”

“Is Fang Lin really that powerful?”

····

All exhibited disbelief, and nobody could remain calm.

The dozen or so people from the Long Family found it especially hard to accept, for in their eyes, Long Zhiming was extremely strong, and he had executed the Long Family’s supreme technique, the Dragon-Elephant Shaking Heaven Fist; no matter what, Fang Lin should have been gravely injured.

However, there stood Fang Lin, apparently unharmed, even though he might have been injured, it wasn’t evident on the surface.

And Mo Yun and Dugu Nian, who had been very worried for Fang Lin, let out sighs of relief when they saw he seemed unharmed.

Fang Lin looked at Long Zhiming, with the Kylin battle armor completely dissipated, slightly swaying, appearing to have some injuries.

“How about it? I should have won, right?” Fang Lin said to Long Zhiming.

Long Zhiming’s expression didn’t change much, except for an unmistakable shade of surprise in his eyes.

“You did win,” Long Zhiming said, very calmly, pulling out a treasure from a Nine Palace Bag.

“I see you’re quite skilled with the spear, so I’m giving you this Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear,” Long Zhiming said, as he threw the white spear toward Fang Lin.

Fang Lin grinned, caught the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear, and thanked him.

The members of the Long Family were grinding their teeth in frustration, clearly unwilling to accept the outcome.

“Big brother Zhiming, this kid must have used some cunning trick; why give him the treasure?”

“That’s right, even if Fang Lin blocked big brother Zhiming’s punch, it doesn’t mean he won.”

“This wager should never have been agreed upon in the first place.”

···

Members of the Long Family were all insisting that Long Zhiming should take back the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear.

Seeing this, Fang Lin repeatedly shook his head, “Aren’t you all members of the Long Family? Don’t you even understand the simple principle of honoring a bet?”

The people of the Long Family glared at Fang Lin with rage, as if wishing they could rush up and snatch the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear directly from Fang Lin’s hands.

“Enough,” Long Zhiming said, his tone carrying authority and brooking no argument.

The people of the Long Family instantly quieted down, but obviously they were not willing to let it go, occasionally casting angry glances at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin didn’t care about this, holding the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear and looking it over carefully, the more he saw, the more he liked it.

“What a treasure, even though it is only a young Flood Dragon’s Dragon Bone, it is indeed a fine weapon, very fitting in my hands.” Fang Lin said with a smile, waving the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear a couple of times, generating a powerful wind, very adeptly.

Long Zhiming gave Fang Lin a glance and said, “Your strength is not bad, if you are willing, you can follow me and become one of the Long Family, I will make you even stronger.”

As these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned once again, even the members of the Long Family did not expect Long Zhiming to say such a thing.

It turned out Long Zhiming intended to recruit Fang Lin, hence he was so generous, not even blinking an eye before gifting a high-grade weapon.

The members of the Long Family also had a moment of realization and started looking at Fang Lin with peculiar eyes.

If Fang Lin became a follower of Long Zhiming, he could indeed be considered part of the Long Family and naturally eligible to own the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear.

“How about it? With your talent, if nurtured with the resources of my Long Family, perhaps in the future you might not be inferior to me.” Long Zhiming said, with a hint of expectation, seeming to hold Fang Lin in high regard.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s expression did not change much as he smiled, “You think so highly of me? I really appreciate it, but unfortunately, I do not like being restrained, nor do I like to be a follower of anyone.”

“Fang Lin, Brother Zhiming appreciates you and lets you become his follower, this is your opportunity, how dare you not know your place?” Long Xunhai, who had lost to Fang Lin earlier, spoke up.

Fang Lin ignored Long Xunhai and just looked at Long Zhiming, saying, “I’ll take the spear, but there is no chance for me to become your follower.”

With these words, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

Long Zhiming did not get angry but merely hummed in acknowledgment before returning to his spot to sit cross-legged.

The members of the Long Family were extremely annoyed, finding Fang Lin to be overly arrogant, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but with Long Zhiming present, without his consent, no one dared to act recklessly.

Fang Lin grandly put the Mysterious Sea Dragon Spear into his Nine Palace Bag and returned to where Dugu Nian and Mo Yun were.

“Are you alright?” Dugu Nian noticed that Fang Lin’s complexion was a bit off and asked in a low voice.

Fang Lin shook his head and forced down a mouthful of fresh blood that had risen to his throat.

“I didn’t expect you could block that punch from Long Zhiming, but it was really too dangerous. That man’s strength is unfathomable, you mustn’t have any more conflicts with him in the future,” Mo Yun said. Even someone like him, who bore deep resentment towards Alchemy Tao families, did not dare to provoke Long Zhiming, indicating the immense pressure Long Zhiming imposed on everyone.

Fang Lin nodded, closed his eyes, and began to heal himself.

“What a formidable punch, had it not been for the full force of the Power of the Demon Bone of the Kylin to resist, in addition to my sufficiently sturdy physique, I would’ve been in a lot of trouble,” Fang Lin said to himself, feeling somewhat frightened by the afterthought.

The strength of Long Zhiming was truly astonishing; Fang Lin admitted that unless he played all his cards, he was definitely no match for him.

This was an extremely formidable character, from a powerful family with profound heritage, not exhibiting the usual arrogance of a noble family’s youth but instead steadiness in temperament and a superior’s demeanor that made one feel involuntarily inferior in his presence.
